Issue with M1 ARM Architecture

[Baubak Gandomi]

Hi There,

Just wanted to give the thumbs up about the node-java project and the M1-ARM Mac architecture.

Since I recently changed my computer to M1 ARM64 I started getting the error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1210
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: dlopen(/Users/me/pathToProject/simpleJSToJava/node_modules/java/build/Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node, 0x0001): tried: 'Users/me/pathToProject/simpleJSToJava/node_modules/java/build/Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64)))

  code: 'ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED'
}

I did however solve this by:

1. Installing rosetta
2. Start terminal with Rosetta
3. re-Install x86 nodejs
4. reset installation npm ci
5. reinstall node java npm install java

I do not know if you plan to get this to work on arm64, but here is the workaround.
